"What? Your Majesty is coming tonight?"
Li Lizhen, who was already well-prepared, was unable to contain her excitement upon hearing that Your Majesty would be visiting tonight.
She quickly had her personal maid bring some silver and stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department.
The eunuch hastily waved his hands and said, "Noble Lady Zhen, you mustn't! Doing this will shorten my lifespan!"
Li Lizhen replied, "Eunuch, you need not worry, this is just a little something for you to enjoy some tea. It's such a hot day, after all..."
The eunuch glanced at the silver in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided to accept it.
"Noble Lady Zhen, it's been more than a year since Your Majesty last visited you; you must attend to him well!"
"Only then can I arrange the schedule favorably for you in the future, isn't that right~?"
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, eunuch."
Li Lizhen said, "I shall prepare myself and wait for Your Majesty's arrival."
